Answer 1

A military or military force (n., from Latin militarius, miles "soldier") military can refer to any armed force, it generally refers to a permanent, professional force of soldiers or guerrillas—trained exclusively for the purpose of warfare and should be distinguished from a sanctioned militia or a levy, which are temporary forces— citizen soldiers with less training, who may be "called up" as a reserve force, when a nation mobilizes for total war, or to defend against invasion. The term military is often used to mean an army.

Army (from French armée) can, in some countries, refer to any armed force. More commonly, however, it is only used specifically to refer to a land force of the military.

Answer 2

Hi

Indian Military includes its Army, Navy, Air-Force, Border Security and Special Forces.

Military is a generic word used to to describe the armed forces which includes all the above disciplines.

Answer 3

military in reference to the US military is the combined forces of the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force.... now im not sure if India has anything more than an army, maybe thats why they always say Indian Army

Answer 4

army is traditionally just the land forces of a country. some times, a country starts out having an army and just decides to keep the name.

It's the american military because it is made up of the army, air force, navy, marines, and coast guard. Presumably britain is the same.

Answer 5

becuase america has an army, navy, air force and other branches. all together they make up the military
